"Mathematics and science at school are vital to higher education, skilled jobs, and the national economy. For this reason, CDE has taken a sustained interest in the performance of the South African schooling system in these subjects. This paper summarises the results of four statistical analyses of Senior Certificate and National Senior Certificate results since 1998. Conducted by Professor Charles Simkins, they provide important new insights into the mathematics and science performance of South African schools, and identify key policy issues arising from the research."

Lots of ideas that can be adapted for other grades as well

Ingrid from MD Bright Media has uploaded the Afrikaans translations of the Grade 10, 11 and 12 booklets that are Managing Your Money in English. Please give them feedback!!

"maths anxiety" is not so much an anxiety or fear of the subject itself but rather a reaction to the sense of powerlessness children experience when they think about "doing mathematics".
